More of the same
Again more short weird and weirder horror stories. Some were ok but weaker overall compared to the first film.

Another short but well written book. This time with a little more suspense. I really enjoy the dynamics between the two main characters.

It's a short story, and a decent one. It's obviously written for a younger audience, so it's nothing too special, but it's good.

This was a laugh from start to finish. Short comics regarding various fairy stories and myths rewritten with a great sense of humour.

Short, consice biography of Eleanor of Aquitaine. Doesn't go into much details of have much by way of analysis. Fairly simplistic at times.
